  • If your plan was to install standalone SQL instances on each node and then 'upgrade' them to clustered instances, there is no supported process to make this work.

    You can continue to use the instances you installed as standalone SQL instances. If you want to have a clustered SQL instance then you will need to install a new SQL instance to specifically be a SQL clustered instance.
